About the Author
FERDINAND DENNIS is a writer, broadcaster, journalist and lecturer, who is Jamaican by birth but at the age of eight moved to England, where his parents had migrated in the late 1950s. Dr James Procter notes: "Perhaps as a result of his Caribbean background, Dennis is a writer ultimately more concerned with routes than roots." Other books by Ferdinand Dennis: The Sleepless Summer; The Last Blues Dance and Duppy Conqueror, which also published by HopeRoad. The author lives in North London.

Riveting, sensitive snapshots of inner city London Life'[Yvonne Brewster, author and founder of Talawa Theatre Company] '15 short stories written over five decades, confirms Ferdinand Dennis as a flaneur and urban philosopher exploring territory he first began to map in his now classic novels' [GUARDIAN]
